Raspberry’s contain ketones, which are claimed to cause the fat within cells to be broken down more effectively, helping the body burn fat faster. Additionally, raspberries play a role in heart health and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Intense training, such as cycling and running can increase free radical production which slows down muscle repair. Ketones have been used by pro cycling teams to help give their athletes an edge.
